if you can say 'watch next episode of shameless on netflix' i would delete this thread immediately
You can. But only with google chromecast. I just don't use our chromecast that much when streaming.
So instead i have to say Watch Netflix. We have multiple profiles on Netflix in our house so that screen comes up first. Then i have to say select. Then it launches into your personal Netflix. Then you have to tell it to scroll left, right, up, down, select on your show.
All of those are individual commands. So while its possible it's not really practical at the moment. Again maybe once GH and harmony are supported that can be cleaned up.

It's a lot less clunky with DTV as it is with the smart app portion of our tv (for us roku).
With directv its really easy to tell it to go to a particular channel, turn the volume up and down, previous channel, record. Basically anything you want to do with a remote.
But if you want to channel surf, or scroll through the guide then yeah its probably worth grabbing the remote.

me either. i use the built-in netflix on the vizio since there's a button for it and don't have a chromecast on our main tv (shocker) but use fireTV instead since its 4K and runs kodi.
